It's called "radioactive spallation" I think. The high radioactivity plays fast and loose with all kinds of molecular bonds, even in inorganic materials.

I know, but AFAIK those new iMacs ALL feature just 8GB of RAM? There isn't really a middle-tier, that what makes it so weird. you'd expect one machine with top SSD and 16 GB (and space grey, lol). Probably going to be the next ite

Some benchmark sites claim they saw performance reports. Whether they make those up to see more traffic, I cannot tell. If I worked at Apple, I would not tell :) For example https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/cpu-apple_m1x-1

And essentially, why not? If I want to work on a machine, I want it to be fast. Not 1.33x of the baseline benchmark CPU when equipped with X GB RAM. Just fast enough it doesn't annoy me. And with today's PCI-E-based SSD's, wa

I wish they had had the firepower to develop this. I'm not exactly unhappy with Android, but I'd bought that in an instant.

I am not sure what the end-game for releasing those under-powered machines is, tbh. I am a bit more extreme in that I am not buying any machine below 32GB given RAM is no longer upgradable, but even if my mom came and asked me about those i

Gross avg. wage in France is $42700[1] if calculated with 12 months and no variable benefits. Mean would be more interesting, but I don't seem to easily find it. It might sound weirdly low for someone in IT in the USA, but first, not e

My interpretation would be they are glad to get rid of him OR they are a completely tone-deaf group. If someone rage-quits and cites harassment, you absolutely have to take this up, even if that person won't change their mind - but to

My guess would be because sats are not perfect spheres but - esp in the case of a rocket stage like here - complex objects which have non-trivial rotation patterns because the center of gravity might be off the visible center. So I doubt th

Really, 4K on a 13" screen? 64GB LP-DDR in a small and light laptop? 16 cores again in a small and light form factor? That's going to be a long wait. Most consumers don't need more than 4 cores and 16GB and that's where

Yeah, I wanted to replace my aging Macbook Air with a Linux box but each and every PC laptop trackpad was such a step down that I got hesitant. Additionally, PC manufacturers have been slow to adapt modern IO like Thunderbolt (like Dell had

I'm not a doc but I would argue that the guy must have had severe fungal infection of his feet to get to a point where sniffing his socks poses a health hazard. Maybe even immuno-compromised. I doubt you can contract this from healthy

I am not totally sure but I read it in a way they are preparing for a major war, not necessarily an invasion of France. But if Turkey hypothetically starts occupying Greece islands or Russia one of the Baltics AND at the same time, the USA

As long as you create zero externalities for others, you are right. BTC is the exact opposite, though.

Usually, security researchers communicate exploits to the companies that build platforms before publishing so they get a chance to plug the holes. Of course it happens that those companies just don't react but with such a high-profile

Someone needs to cash it out in the end to buy raw materials or bulk purchase food. That's the idea of hyper-Bitcoinization that this step would go away, but I don't see any indication for that. Regarding localbitcoins or other OT
